The bigger news is that the new set release is coming out in a little over a week! They added the pack icons in-game, though they won't be able to be opened until November when the set is officially released. The pre-sale is going to be limited to users staking their Splintershard tokens (SPS) in-game. I'm hoping to have enough for about 3 pack vouchers a day, though that will be far less than the amount needed to get all of the promotional items from bigger pre-sale purchases - in-game title, promo card, and top 6 buyers get to design a card.
With Chaos Legion coming soon, Dark Energy Crystals (DEC) and SPS have both spiked in price. DEC is now worth about 1 cent each, at the time of this writing. My resolve to hold my stockpile of DEC didn't last, as I picked up two collections of cards, giving me a solid set of Earth and Water cards for Gold league play.
I may go into what I got a bit more at the end, but I decided that I'm going to go ahead and play in Gold league this season. Granted, I didn't decide that until almost half way through the season. Anyhow, on to the usual breakdown of the past week!
Daily Quest Rewards:
Daily Quest # 393 - Win 5 with Fire…re-rolled to Win 3 with No Neutral. For completing this daily quest, I got a Pelacor Mercenary (common monster) and 38 DEC (10 + 3 + 25).
The Splinterlands servers have been a bit more stable of late. There have still been some issues, like lots of people being oblivious to the need to write down their Hive account keys, but that's just me complaining about the most common issue in the support backlog. On the upside, there have been a couple of patches since my last article!
After a lot of complaints coming in about compromised accounts, the developers put out a patch requiring you to provide your account keys to do more things in the game. The makes it much harder to get anything stolen with a simple breach of your Splinterlands password, but has led to a mass influx of people asking how to get their keys.
